Very interesting to think about how mental models re: file storage may be changing.

What a read. Platforms don’t just host content, they manipulate that content.

Bookmarking this for my content management class.

Keeping an eye on this! E-bikes are exciting.

Happy to say that my local indie bookstore does not have this problem.

Interesting take on inauthentic content on Facebook.

I am only peripherally aware of Joe Rogan and don’t get great vibes from what I see, so I don’t really have any investment in how his podcast is doing. That said, this does speak to my concerns that Spotify’s attempts to land exclusive podcasts are threatening one of the last (and best) parts of the open web we’ve managed to hold onto. Also, very interesting use of digital methods here!

This is one of those features that sounds great but that I find absolutely terrifying. I hate smart TVs so much.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, I’ve spent a lot of money at my local bookstore and bikeshop, and it kills me that Amazon is threatening both. Granted, I haven’t been able to completely cut the Amazon cord (and I have friends who have only survived the past 18 months because of the company), but there has to be a better way.

Good read.

Amazon is just too big. This line stood out: “Amazon is now in the odd position of replacing stores that it helped kill off.”
